Good post. We live by the blitz and die by the blitz and it comes from everywhere and it comes all day.

You blitzed the Giants a lot less then I thought (I'm not counting blitzing 1 LB as a blitz). Course, you didn't need to with the Giants OL basically being a 2nd string unit. It'll be interesting to see how often and how big the blitzes are against us as Ryan is relatively new, but also very experienced.

McCluster in the slot and Charles going in motion and lining up at WR. We do this a lot and will try and exploit Pollard.

I would expect a big play if you can get us to man up Pollard on Charles. I would expect to see brown man him up or if Pollard or Fokou is on him, they will rotate coverage or be playing zone. I think you're more likely to see a CB take Charles on the outside as long as Bowe doesn't become the slot. If your TE is the slot then I think you'd see Pollard or a LB on him. I would also expect you to see Wilson (3rd S) covering him in those situations on 3rd and long when we go to our pass D personel packages so Brown can blitz.

About the Giants game... You gotta take KC's depth into consideration. The Chiefs were missing two starting o-linemen and their #1 CB just like the Giants. KC was also missing their first and second string TE

The Giants were missing many more players..4 out of 5 on the OL is I remember? Also missing there #1 CB, Tuck is not healthy and JPP is trying to get back into football shape so they are a shell of themselves right now. Your new TE's actually werent the problem blocking. The Giants front 7 played very well...especially Paysinger who single handedly took down Charles several times (and covered him some).

Cruz did smoke Dunta Robinson and Dunta was benched at halftime for a rookie named Cooper out of Rutgers. He played awesome against Cruz and stopped him cold. If Flowers can't go, you can bet Cooper will start.

I'd agree Cooper played much better, but Cruz did get a lot of yards in the 2nd half and the refs definitely were'nt in the modd to throw PI flags. Several times Cooper had his hands on WR's 10-15yds down the field. Also, the Giants had a lot of drops that were BIG plays where your guys were beat.

Poe is a monster. He's is definitely the NFL's break out player of the year to this point. Unlike past years, their job is no longer to occupy blockers 100% of the time. They rush the passer and it all starts with Poe. He will have to be double teamed. This match up worries me the most because your interior line seems to be the strongest part of your team imo.

Poe is a monster, but I think Casey is just as much of an impact player and frankly, Wilkerson on the Jets is probably the biggest monster this year so far. But yes, your front is playing really well and that includes your stud LB's. We kinda like our front 7 too!!!

It should be a great match up and I see a low score. I'm think 17-10 Chiefs. This will be a fight.

I think it will be a great matchup!!! I see the Titans winning this one as we are at home.

Will be interesting to see what we learned playing against the Jets because these defenses are very similar. Our OL needs to communicate better than they did against the Jets. When I re-watched the game last night Turner and Warmack had several times that they didn't work well together. Also one play where Stewart and Warmack were on different pages. I do not think that the Chiefs DL is quite as stout as the Jets so hopefully we will be able to stay out of 3rd and long situations.

I'm gonna start re-watching the Jets game tonight...specifically the run plays to see what happened there...did we miss blocks, did we get beat, did they have an extra defender, etc. I wanna see how our interior 3 did...specifically Turner.

I would like to see us put Hunter on one side and then Washington on the outside on the other side with Britt in the slot. Let Britt and Hunter work deep with Nate working the middle of the field.

Wright is too good to keep off the field in 3 WR sets and we may see more of them to see if the Chiefs take one of their good LB's off in place of another corner. I will expect to see a lot more bubble screens and crossing routes to Wright if the Chiefs play a ton of man coverage.

Defensively we just need to tackle well. From a STs standpoint we have to avoid the big play like the Giants gave up last week.

You guys make some great points. I agree that KC's offense is a work in progress. It is basically set up like Philadelphia's old early 2000's offense and they use Charles like Philly used Westbrook back in the day. We aren't going to force the ball to our receivers. Your CBs are too good. Last week, 28 of your 38 points resulted from turnovers. Kansas City does not turn the ball over.

The biggest difference between the Jets defense and KC's is that KC has really good OLBs. However, it is the same defensive system. KC just runs it more effectively because of those LBs.

If you could get Britt in the slot against Robinson that could spell trouble for the Chiefs. Robinson has really lost a step.

It's true we didn't blitz the Giants as much but, that's because they have an elite WR corps. and they can't run the ball. They really aren't very good.

It's also true that KC is untested on the road. Dallas was a good test for us and I agree they aren't as good as you guys.

I have a dream, that one day Gut will learn to summarize his thoughts.

I don't find Gut to be long winded in the least. Quite the opposite actually. He is a very concise poster and doesn't drone on unncessarily he just has a lot of good points to make. As far as the game goes I'm having recurring nightmares of Coty manning up McCluster or Charles. With Poe on Turner i think we'll find out just how badly a D linemen can manhandle an O linemen before he gets benched.
